Drawing in Church

Yep it true! You caught me! I draw in church just about every week. That is how I take notes instead of sleeping in church which I must confess will happen if I don't take notes. This is the first in a series of drawing for Philippians series and it concerns the role of a Deacon to the church. I like this minimal approach to these drawings. This is a different format for me but it seems to be working well.

Thank you all for your response for me to write about each piece and I'm glad I wasn't doing it for nothing. I still can't believe I have people who stop by this blog to check it out so often. Thank you all for your support!

Political Musings

Here is a little diddy I did about the Presidential candidates. I wanted to show both candidates falling out of the sky with no land in sight. To be honest with you all I am not sure who I am going to vote for as I am not sold on either one of them.

Oh! By the way...they are both wearing parachutes and only Mccain's is out. I guess he jumped first.

On the Rocks

I did this in my new mole skin sketchbook which I am loving a lot. I wanted to use just one color to emphasize parts of the story. I like dark subject matter which hopefully I comes across.

*I'm curious...Does it matter what I write for this piece or any other piece!?! I do most of these drawings to speak for themselves and I find it hard to write something about each piece. If you have the time let me know what you think in the comments.

ANother Hero of mine....

This is my dear ol'Dad and he is truly one of my hero's. I know...I know...It sounds sappy but its all true! i love this man and I don't thank him enough for all that he has done for me in my life. When something great hapens in my life he is one of the first people I think about in the back of my head.

This drawing is dedicated to him and I hope you all like it. I did this in my sketchbook with a Pentel Ink brush pen.

Fun with websites!

These are two drawings I did for side projects for fun and because I was asked to contribute something. I had a lot of fun doing both and I believe I'm getting better at my Photoshop digital coloring skills as time goes by. I hope it shows!

The "Alien at a lemonade stand" was done for a friend of mine who asked me to contribute to doodlecollage website. Thanks Dave for the honor! You should check out the website and see the talented people who contribute to it as I was blown away by the talent and the offer to do a drawing was an awesome opportunity I wasn't about to pass up.

The "Giraffe ridding a tricycle" is a new blogventure I have started with my good friend Brett Brooks. Our idea is to show both how our particular styles are different but also simular in some ways. You be the judge!?! Here is our site: Schisms Art

Welp!!! Back to the Drawing board!

Hands

I realize it has been awhile since my last post but...to be honest I haven't been doing much artwork lately. I feel like I've been in a slump with my art lately. I still draw everyday but I haven't been too happy what I have done.

I think this image owes a lot to my frustration about my lack of good drawings as of late. These are my hands and they are to blame to some degree about my lack of good drawings. I really like how this image turned out and ironically I did this in my current self-made slump.

It's Been Awhile

I know it has been awhile for me to post but things for me have been really busy. If these sketches give any context on the way things have been for me....I believe you would believe me that things have been troublesome as of late.

Things are looking up though and rest assured I will continue to try and post more regularly...Trust me!?! I am excited to know what the future holds for me. Perhaps I will one day achieve my goal of getting paid to do what I love to which is DRAWING.
